Production designer for movie Edward Scissorhands, Bo Welsh is the brains behind the series’ elaborate sets.

Season two is adapted from books fine through nine: The Austere Academy, The Ersatz Elevator, The Vile Village, The Hostile Hospital and The Carnivorous Carnival, so the sets were designed to reflect the source material.

“We wanted to create our own world that is unique to these books: gloomy, dark, overcast,” executive producer Barry Sonnenfeld said.

Primary fictional locations that feature on the show include Purfrock Preparatory School, Hotel Denouement, Baudelaire Mansion, Paltryville and Heimlich Hospital.

Where is A Series of Unfortunate Events season 2 filmed?

Cast and crew were spotted filming at Ironwood Studios in the south of the city last April.

The shipyards in Vancouver were also used.

The sets are meticulously designed, often with entire towns being constructed.

“The construction of an entire seaside town — from Damocles Dock to the Anxious Clown restaurant — was so much fun to walk through, they had to drag me off the set to commence shooting,” author Handler said.

“I think my favorite part about starting a new episode is walking onto the set; every time, they just get better and better,” Weissman added.
